Extract Standards — extractStd • flexfit

Separates specified serial dilutions for fitting, background, and samples

Usage

extractStd(MFI, stdstr, bgstr, stddil, smpdil, antigen, fname, pdate)

MFI: data frame with variable "Sample" that contains information about standard concentrations in "1/dilution" format (e.g. "1/200").
stdstr: character string indicating standards in the file's "Sample" column. Not case sensitive. If "" (empty string), standards will be determined by the pattern "1/" only.
bgstr: character string indicating background in the file's "Sample" column. Not case sensitive.
stddil: standard dilutions to use for standard curve fitting. If NULL, all the dilutions indicated in a "Sample" variable are used.
smpdil: single value for sample dilutions (if dilutions are not provided in smp data frame). Ignored if dilvar is provided and the variable is included in smp data frame.
antigen: character string.
fname: name of the file that contains raw data.
pdate: date of the plate processing.

A list with standards for fitting, background values, sample values, indices for samples.
